The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 1995 and referred to the Senate Insurance committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 8, 1995. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On March 15, 1995 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the House on March 16, 1995 and was referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held public hearings on April 4, 1995 and April 11, 1995. The majority of the committee recommended that the House send it back to committee unanimously, 17–0. On April 25, 1995 the bill was referred to the Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held work sessions on May 16, 1995, July 19, 1995, September 13, 1995 and September 27, 1995. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes, and the minority recommended that the House pass it, by a vote of 11–5. On January 4, 1996 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On January 25, 1996 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On February 1, 1996 the House adopted “Accede to Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on April 2, 1996 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On May 1, 1996 the House adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. On May 16, 1996 the House adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. On May 16, 1996 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 29, 1996 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 10, 1996, making it Chapter 299 of the session laws. It took effect on July 1, 1996.
